Singapore authorities stop complains going to foreign talents
So they ban foreign talents singing about Singapore complaints.
Wrote Reuters,
A choir that planned to sing a list of complaints about life in Singapore cancelled its performances after the city-state banned its foreign members from singing, organizers said on Saturday.
The 60-member “complaints choir”, a concept that originated from two Finnish artists, was scheduled to perform at a weekend festival but authorities granted a performance license on the condition that the foreigners would not participate.
Rumours have it that the original lyrics had a complain about the rap done by the Media Development Authority, but that’s only a rumour.
I overheard an overzealous nationalistic Singaporean in the MRT mumbling to himself on the MRT today saying,
They can take our jobs!
They can take our money!
They can take our women!
But we have to be thankful for the Singapore authorities to protect our sovereign rights to complain from these foreign talents!”
If the overzealous nationalistic Singaporean is reading this post, here’s the video of the complain choir whose only complain was that the conductor was Malaysian.
